So many questions--- omg. Would a molting chicken pick at some of her feathers?

Are there any more pictures I can provide to get a better opinion?

Should I examine the feathers on the floor as well?

She's 2 years and 2 months old... I haven't seen any mites. I have two age groups of hens, some just over a year old, others 2 years and 2 months. There doesn't appear to be much irritation, and I can see new feathers starting to come in.

I checked again. there doesn't appear to be any matted feathers near the vent. Her skin doesn't look incredibly irritated either...

Hi all, One of my hens seems to be suffering from major feather loss. Is this molt or lice, or some type of disease? I love this bird, and really want to try and help her get better... Thanks!

Hi all, Recently, this morning actually, I noticed one of my chickens was suffering from feather loss on her tail... Is this just from pecking or is there an underlying cause? What can I do to help her!

My beloved Voldemort left this world yesterday... I have no idea how... Cancer? She lost all of the feathers on her backside, and there was stinky poop all around her vent. I can't believe this happened so quickly. I'm devastated...

Hi all, So my beloved Voledemort has lost most/all of the feathers on her butt. The feathers that are left are coated in dried poop. What do I do??? Is it vent gleet? I can post a picture if it helps. All under the vent there is poopy feathers as well... HELP ME! Thanks!

Hi all... So my totally sweet silkie hen is being bullied by my barred rock. But I have noticed that the other birds chime in as well. Right now I have my silkie seperated into a different area so that if she wants to get away she can, but I feel like she is really alone. I have heard about...

Thanks for the help!!! Means a lot!

Urgg... Okay!!! I was kind of hoping for a rooster, so I guess that's good. It's just that now I'm questioning another one of my girls... Thanks though!!!

Even if your eggs are fertilized doesn't mean you can't eat them!!! As long as one of your hens doesn't incubate it, it's perfectly fine. It doesn't taste weird, and you won't be able to tell the difference.

Could you tell me the gender of these two birds??!!?!

I think the last one MIGHT be a speckled sussex.

Her name was Spoon... But she was taken by a hawk... Her "replacement's" name is Pearl.

THREE OR FOUR MONTHS!!!! I underestimated this!!!! I hope the set up I have will be alright for that long... And I don't know how long my dad wants to keep this weird contraption in his pride and joy!!!

Ok, thanks for your help!

They are fully feathered... The temp where I am has been consistently warm.... Thanks so much for your help!

Hi again! So as a somewhat newbie I have a few questions about mixing my two flocks... We're planning to fence out an area in the main coop for the 5, 6-7 week olds to move into. Are they old enough? How long should I keep them in there? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!
